Marbled Eye by Amy Crook

Years ago and miles away I learned a little bit about making marbled papers, the kind used in the endpapers of wonderful old books. While dropping in colour to try to make a pattern, something interesting formed, and I captured it before it could be disrupted — a perfect eye in the middle of all the random swirls.

Sometimes, art is about knowing when to stop at accidental beauty.

Want a little art in your life?

I want to help you out with that. All of my original art comes with free shipping, so don't sweat the small stuff. Just look and see what calls to you, what you think you might want to live with -- even if it doesn't match the couch.

Curious about something I haven't covered here? Drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you.

Read my policies on shipping, returns, payment plans and more. It's very exciting stuff.
